Inspiron 3543: No sleep & wake in Sierra and High Sierra

Recommended Posts

I have managed to get everything working except Sleep & wake on 10.12.6
 
The laptop sometimes sleeps, sometimes it wont. but the fans keeps running so when i open the lid the laptop wont wake up but the fans keep running ( i tried pressing the power button, keyboard) 
 
i ran the command  log show --style syslog | fgrep "Wake reason"  but it only shows "pwrb" 
i checked whether it was due to spotlight indexing, but no
 
there are similar laptops to mine which they have managed to get sleep & working
 
i'm using the SMBIOS MacbookAir 7,2 and i tried macbook pro 12,1 
  • i have applied power management to both the smbios (one by one) 
  • i have tried  kexts such as lid wake, LIDP patch
  • i tried the darkwake combos
but still no luck
 
 
 
Here are my specs of my Dell 3543 (touch screen)
 
Cpu,core i3 5005u 2GHz
graphics HD 5500 
wifi ar9285
ethernet  RTL8411B
audio alc255 
Bios version - A08
Ram 8gb
hdd 1TB
 
And Yes i have read many forums and guides for this before posting, as i cannot find any solution
and i hope you guys can help me 
 
Thank You

Ok since the current files you're using are for 10.12.4 and up, brightness control shouldn't be working and might be the cause of sleep issue. Touchscreen is USB based, should be fine there.

Try these files, downgraded to 10.12.3 and below

Replace Config and DSDT, add IntelBacklight to /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other
